Our relaxed entry runs from 7:55am - 8:02am each day. Supervisors are outside until approximately 8:10am to make sure all students are inside.
Please have your child go to their entry doors each morning. They should not be coming in through the front doors of the school. We will ensure they all get to their classrooms.
French Culture Week Preparations!
French Culture week will be held from February 27th - March 3rd. Mme U's class is learning about Francophonie and is working on a project to meet and learn about French speaking families at Glenbow School.
We would love to hear from you if you want to be interviewed by students in grade 4U French Immersion. The interview will take around 10 minutes and it will be arranged by Mme U.
Final presentations will be displayed during our French Culture Week.
During the February Break, freeze water in a 2 L milk/juice cartoon/ or rectangle ice-cream carton (the ice blocks need 2-3 nights to freeze)
If possible, add a few drops of food coloring before freezing.
Kindergarten and Grade 1 to use red food colouring
Grade 2 to use blue food colouring
Grade 3 to use green food colouring
Grade 4 to use yellow food colouring
This will help us make a colourful wall!
On Tuesday, February 28th, cut off the outside container and bring the block of ice to school. Place it in a bag labeled with their child's name.
Students will place their blocks in their line-up area and parent volunteers will call classes down to put their blocks out throughout the morning.

Save the Date! - March 16th
Glenbow School Council and the Friends of Glenbow are excited to share that we will be hosting a Family Movie Night on Thursday, March 16th. We are still working on the details but want you to save the date! We hope you will join us for this fun community event.
Rocky View Schools welcomes your input as they decide which students will attend the school on Powell Street in Cochrane.
RVS re-acquired the school in September 2022 from the Calgary Catholic School Division which had operated the Holy Spirit School at this location for many years. The school currently has space for 330 students. It's in need of a little facelift - the plan is to welcome students in September 2023, once renovations approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) are complete.
A number of options for the accommodation plan will be available on this webpage under Documents . Please note that a change to French Immersion is one of the options so it would be good for our FI families to have a look at what was presented. Read them over and let RVS know what you think!
You can find more information at RVSEngage
Extra Pants???
Do you have any pants that your son/daughter has outgrown? We could use some spares here in the office for students who may have had accidents. If you do, please have your child drop them off at the office. Thanks!!
Grade 4 families - Alberta Assurance Survey
Packages for the Grade 4 Alberta Assurance Survey were sent out starting February 6th. This survey provides feedback to schools on areas of strength and growth. We use this information to help us plan our school improvement goals.
We are hoping that all grade 4 families will complete the survey. It can be done on-line or returned via email. Keep an eye out for the package coming from the Alberta Government with the survey.

Are you interested in being a volunteer reader?
We are looking for reading volunteers at Glenbow School! If you or a family member are interested in helping children to develop a love of reading, please reach out to our Assistant Principal, Mme Sarah, at scaldwell@rockyview.ab.ca. Volunteering to read with students is a great way to connect with our community and get to know our school outside of your child’s classroom.
We are a Nut Aware and Scent Free school. This means we want to ensure that all lunch and snacks do not contain nuts. We have a number of students with life threatening allergies. This includes things like Nutella and Peanut Butter. We also have students and staff with severe allergies to scents. Please do not wear any perfumes or colognes if you are volunteering in the school. Thanks for your understanding.
Please Drive Slowly in the School Zone!
As we get back to school, please ensure you are driving slowly through the school zone around Glenbow. We want to ensure all students get to and from school safely each day!
No Parking or Walking in the Staff Parking Lot
This is a reminder that there is no parking in the staff parking lot before/after school.
We also ask that you do not walk through the parking lot at anytime. It is a busy spot and we do not want anyone getting hurt.
Thanks for you cooperation.
